At last someone with some economic literacy. Not only can we print money (as we have done very liberally over recent years) but we can borrow a lot more . 75% of government borrowing is owned by UK nationals and UK institutions. So one persons liability is another persons asset! You are quite...

How on earth do you know how Caicedo made his decision. The truth is you have no idea so dont be so arrogant. I suspect it was all about living in London near friends, family etc. He is after all very young and Liverpool is culturally hugely different from London. Wish the guy luck and see what...

Against a team playing as defensively as West Ham you just have to score the first goal. We had our chances and that would have changed the game, As it was one mistake and they had their goal. which they could then defend. On another day an entirely different outcome. Dont change the system...

I think I watched a different game to everyone else. I thought Luton did really well. In fact they played Brighton at their own game. They sucked them in with everyone behind the ball and then broke very quickly. They exposed Brighton on the flanks and could easily have scored 2 or 3. It was a...

Given the level of anger and general concern and In the name of transparency the EPL should publish a response (addressed to the club) to the 5 controversial points explaining how the conclusions were reached by VAR in each case. Depending on conclusions reached the VAR referees should be...

It will end sadly with a european or even international super league. Look at what is happening in golf as the model. Unlimited money will win out after some doomed resistance

I agree. My initial response to Potter leaving was to feel anger at his disloyalty and hypocrisy. But then you think about it and of course it is the system itself, awash with money, often from very dodgy sources, that inevitably leads to bad behaviour. I do blame Potter for seducing away the...

Yes however the incompetence or lack of courage of the people at the venue isn't really an important issue. The only thing that matters is whether his right to free speech is being restricted. That seems to me clearly not to be the case and he certainly doesn,t have the right to appear...

there are surely all sorts of free choices being made The venue has the right to put on who they like and cancel those they dont like the audience has the right to attend or leave the comedian has the right to say what he likes within the law By the venue cancelling this comedian no one is...

Of course it is political. It is all about power and the members of the RMT are lucky in that they at least have a negative power to disrupt. Most people do not even have that We live in a "devil take the hindmost" society where bankers and CEOs and many others do very well because they hold...

A couple of points which may have already been made. First I have no time for someone who rushes off to Monaco to avoid tax. And secondly is it not akin to giving Andy Murray a bigger racket with superior technology and then praising him for winning all the time.

Of course he has done something wrong. How can you accept £15000 worth of benefit in kind and not feel obligated to someone. There is potential if not actual corruption. He is paid enough to pay for his own holidays. It is yet another example of his sense of entitlement. We deserve better from...

Good points - you obviously know a lot about it. I would just say that it will not help matters to add US chlorinated chicken to the mess. Personally I now only buy organic foodstuffs and we can all make that choice. Interestingly I see that only today there is news of rapid growth of organic sales

So what? How many times do you have to be told that it is not about food safety but animal welfare? Have you seen the conditions that chicken s are kept in in the US? For goodness get informed -its not difficult. Or do you just not care?

This is the point. They only have to use chlorine because the animal welfare is so appalling. Is that really what people want - cheap food, dreadful conditions ? Its all very well saying people should be able to make their own decisions but as we saw with Brexit we cant trust the people to make...

I suggest you do the research which shows the proprtion of privately educated people in the top reaches of society. It is eye opening. The Guardian has a good video on the subject which is easy to acces and shows the key statistics

No one could possibly deny that a private education confers advantages. After all they spend three times as much on each pupil as in the state system. That is the point. The 7% privately educated have enormous advantages which translate into a dominance in society. That means it isnt the best...

I agree with you that the Labour Party is a dreadful let down just when we need it to be strong and united. However, you have to ask yourself why a policy to " integrate" public schools or a polcy to make inheritance more fairly taxed is unpopualar. Common sense says most people should support...

Finland decided to integrate private schools some 30 to 40 years ago and now has one of the best education systems in the world. Private education is ineffiicient and grossly unfiar becuase it promotes mediocre talent and reduces the life chances of the 93% who are state educated. The remaing 7%...
